NUMBER 17
STATE PRIMARY THE '
PLAN OF CIIAIR1AII
Predicted That Oklahoma Will
Give Republican Party Small
Majority Next State Election
UNALLOTTED LAUDS
WILL BE SOLD HERE
It ia more than probable that the
old convention form of selecting del-
egation to attend the National Re-
publloan Convention next year will
lie abandoned in Oklahoma and the
aeleotion made henceforth by pri-
mary It i known that Slate Chair-
man Janie A Harrla of the Repub-
lican atate committee ha written to
and personally asked many Republi-
can! of the atate what they think of
tlie primary system In selecting del-
egatee It is understood that Harris
I not consulting politicians but the
rank and file of the Republican party
to get an Idea of the sentiment
Heretofore the convention plan
was always used with the result that
only an organisation man or a inan
who got in the band wagon would
have any ahow to be a delegate
Should the primary ayatein prevail
it will be a free-for-all affair
The primary aeema to be looked
upon with favor by the rank and file
It la believed that thla ia a move on
the part of Chairman Harrla to ce-
ment ail faction! in the atate and
there are aome factions at this time
There Is considerable La Follette
aeutlment In the state and the pri-
mary would do away with a bitter
fight among the Republicans Al-
ready a La Follette club has been or-
ganised In Muskogee another is or-
ganizing In Oklahoma City and sen-
timent for the Wisconsin man Is
spreading There Is very little prob-
ability that any but a 1 aft delegation
will go from Oklahoma but the in-
surgents of the party under a pri-
mary would at least be recognised
and given an opportunity to test their
strength '
Chairman Harris is himself look-
ing for no offloe and wants to get Re-
publicans in line for the campaign of
1914 He has hopes of electing some
Republican state officials in 1914 and
at least three Republican congress-
men nest fall It will only be a
question of a few years he argues
when Oklahoma will he Republican
In the first election the Democrats
carried the atate by 40000 majority
During the first race for governor
after Oklahoma had been admitted
as a state C N Haskell (Democrat)
was given a majority of 80000 over
Frank Fran's In the last presiden-
tial campaign President Taft only
lose the state by 11000 and 80000 ne-
gro voters had been disfranchised
Since that time a number of elec-
tor officials were convicted in the
western part of the state for disfran-
chising negro voters Mr Harris
does not believe that the grandfather
clause will be applied nest time be-
cause of the conviction of these men
and looks for the atate to go Repub-
lican by a small majority Of conrye
many of the negroes will not go to
the polls to vote because they have
been deprived of that right before
and Intimidated to the point that
only the bolder ones will try to exer-
cise the right dPsuffrage
The primary will he an expensive
proposition and it is estimated that
it will cost the party at least 118000
to hold such an election Harris has
heretofore bore the brunt of the ex-
pense in the campaigns of other days
and It Is said that the state commit-
tee la now $10000 in debt Harris
believes with a cemented party and
with the proper moral and fluanoial
support the party cab win another
congressman next year
The atate organisation is not deal
by any means according to Hafris
but-is lu fine working order and
when the time ia ripe will he found
working over time National Issues
will cut little figure in the next state
campaign in Oklahoma Local con-
dition will control In fact today
tliyre Is great unrest and dissatisfac-
tion because of the sutiou of the state
hoard of equalization XVord was
sent out by the governor to the local
assessors to assess all property at a
valuation of loA per cent on the dol-
lar This was done practically in
every county Then the atate hoard
came along and Increased that valu-
ation 60 per cent compelling taxpay-
ers In the atate to pay taxes on 60 per
nt more property than they actu-
ally poaseaaed Under the new tax
law there ia no recotirae except for
the large property owner Of course
a taxpayer can bring suit In court for
a reduction on the ground that he ia
a -sensed on property that he docs not
wo hut it la cheaper to pay up than
employ a lawyer and light the case

WE SELL JOHN DEERE CULTIVATORS STU DEBAKER WAGONS
The man who own a much a $M-
000 worth of property however can
afford to take the chance
For Instance a man own a farm
valued at $8000 He 1 first assessed
at Its full value Then the atate hoard
raised him to $9000 and he must pay
taxes on $3000 worth of property he
d"es not own At the present tax
rate the difference I much lea than
a lawyer's fee and while he pays It
be feel tiiat he is being “stutiffc”
This condition prevail practically
in every county in the state The
refusal of Gov Cruce to “play ball’’
with the leading Democratic politi-
cian of the state has also brought
about a split in the ranks of the De-
mocracy The politicians wanted the state
redistricted and districts cut In such
a manner as to make it possible to
elect eight congressmen of Demo-
cratic flth A special session of the
legislature was necessary bat the
governor refused to call it on the
ground that the state was under too
heavy expense now The governor
has refused to advise with the Dem-
ocratic lenders and Chairman Harris
believes with all these tilings con
fronting the Democratic party the
people of the state are ready for a
change to the O O P rule
